Abstract
Work in human factors encompasses research and application in human engineering, procedure development, training techniques, personnel requirements, test and evaluation, task description, and task allocation. Opportunities and needs exist in computer-based data processing systems for all these endeavors, especially with regard to on-line users. Within human engineering, only manual entry has so far received much research attention. Work is also needed on displays, integrated entry-display, workspace and other equipment aspects, on-line languages, and program production. Of greatest concern to human engineering is the computer output, designed by programmers, rather than the hardware. Human factors people will have to master a new field and provide guidance to a new discipline which has not yet understood human factors requirements.
